Addendum History

Date

Modification

11/19/2004

This chapter was updated to reflect changes to "Adding Gateways to Cisco CallManager", Table 48-1, and to "Adding a Cisco IOS MGCP Gateway".

This update resolves DDTS CSCef30742.

11/19/2004

This chapter was updated to delete obsolete information from Table 48-1 and from "Adding a Cisco IOS MGCP Gateway".

Nature of the Changes

The following name change for the Cisco IAD 2400 gateway type has been made in Cisco CallManager Administration.

In the "Add a New Gateway" window in Cisco CallManager Administration, the "Cisco IAD 2420 (end-of-sale product)" gateway type replaced the Cisco IAD 2400 gateway type.

Use the Cisco IAD 2420 gateway type to add a new Cisco IAD 2420 gateway to Cisco CallManager.

Note The system does not support the Cisco IAD 2430 gateway for use with Cisco CallManager.

For more information, refer to http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/onebug.pl?bugid=CSCef30742.

New and Changed Information

The information in this document updates the following topics in the Gateway Configuration chapter of the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide, Release 4.0(1).

•Adding a Cisco IOS MGCP Gateway

Adding Gateways to Cisco CallManager

To enable Cisco CallManager to manage IP telephony gateways in your network, you must first add each gateway to the Cisco CallManager configuration database. The procedures, windows, and configuration settings for adding a gateway vary according to the gateway model that you are adding.

The following procedure describes how to add a new gateway in Cisco CallManager.

Procedure

Step 1 Choose Device > Gateway to display the Find/List Gateways window.

Step 2 Click the Add a New Gateway link. The Add a New Gateway window displays.

Step 3 From the Gateway type drop-down list box, choose the gateway type that you want to add. The Device Protocol field may automatically get populated depending on which gateway type you choose.

Step 4 Click Next.

Step 5 In the following table, click the specific procedure for the gateway type that you are configuring. Once you are in the correct procedure, start with the step where you enter the appropriate settings for that particular gateway type.

Adding a Cisco IOS MGCP Gateway

Use the following procedure to add and configure a Cisco IOS MGCP gateway to Cisco CallManager. The following Cisco IOS gateways support MGCP:

•CiscoVG200 Cisco IP Telephony Voice Gateway

•Cisco IOS 362x, 364x, 366x gateways

•Cisco IOS 3725 and 3745 gateways

•Cisco IOS 26xx and 269xgateways

•Cisco Catalyst 4000 Access Gateway Module

•Cisco Catalyst 4224 Voice Gateway Switch

•Communication Media Module

•Cisco IAD 2400 gateways

Cisco ICS77XX-ASI160, Cisco ICS77XX-ASI81, Cisco ICS77XX-MRP2xx, ICS77XX-MRP3-16FXS, ICS77XX-MRP3-8FXO-M1, ICS77XX-MRP3-8FXS, ICS77XX-MRP3xx gateways

Note Like other IOS MGCP gateways, MRP/ASI gateways may work with a Cisco CallManager group that contains three Cisco CallManagers. ASI/MRP gateways testing occurs, however, with only one backup Cisco CallManager.

Before You Begin

Before configuring a Cisco IOS MGCP gateway for use with Cisco CallManager, you must configure the gateway by using the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI). For procedures and commands that are required to perform this configuration, refer to the configuration documentation that is supplied with the gateway.

Procedure

Step 1 Choose Device > Add a New Device.

The Add a New Device window appears.

Step 2 From the Device type drop-down list box, choose Gateway and click Next.

The Add a New Gateway window appears.

Step 3 From the Gateway Type drop-down list box, choose one of the following MGCP gateways:

•VG200

•Cisco IOS 362x, 364x, 366x gateways

•Cisco IOS 3725 and 3745 gateways

•Cisco IOS 26xx gateways

•Cisco Catalyst 4000 Access Gateway Module

•Cisco Catalyst 4224 Voice Gateway Switch

•Communication Media Module

•Cisco IAD 2420 (end-of-sale product) gateway

•Cisco ICS77XX-ASI160, Cisco ICS77XX-ASI81, Cisco ICS77XX-MRP2xx, ICS77XX-MRP3-16FXS, ICS77XX-MRP3-8FXO-M1, ICS77XX-MRP3-8FXS, ICS77XX-MRP3xx gateways

Note The Cisco Catalyst 6000 gateways also support MGCP but are configured differently. See "Adding a Non-IOS MGCP Gateway".

When you choose one of the preceding gateways, the Device Protocol drop-down list displays "Not Required for MGCP."

Cisco IOS MGCP gateways support different device protocols for interfacing to the PSTN or other non-IP devices, depending on the gateway model and the type of installed network modules and voice interface cards (VICs). A subsequent web window provides configuration for these interfaces.

Step 4 Click Next. The MGCP Configuration window displays.

Step 5 Enter the appropriate settings and choose the type of network modules that are installed in each slot, as described in "MGCP Gateway Configuration Settings", including any product-specific configuration settings.

Step 6 Click Insert.

The MGCP Gateway Configuration window updates and displays drop-down list boxes with options for configuring the type of voice interface cards (VICs) in each subunit of each network module.

The available choices depend on the type of network modules that are configured in the MGCP Configuration window.

Step 7 From the drop-down list boxes, choose the type of VICs that are installed in each subunit and click Update.

The window updates to add links for configuring endpoint information and ports for the chosen type of VICs.

Step 8 Click an endpoint identifier (for example, 1/0/0) to configure device protocol information and add ports for the installed types of VICs.

For detailed instructions, see the following procedures:

•Adding FXS Ports to an MGCP Gateway

•Adding FXO Ports to an MGCP Gateway

•Adding T1-CAS Ports to an MGCP Gateway

•Adding a T1 PRI or E1 PRI Device to an MGCP Gateway

Note If you are configuring a Cisco ICS77XX-ASI160 or Cisco ICS77XX-MRP3-16FXS gateway, configure analog ports. E1 and T1 ports are not valid for these gateways.

Step 9 Reset the gateway to apply the changes.

Step 10 Continue configuring endpoint information and ports as needed.

Step 11 After you finish configuring the endpoint and adding ports, you need to add the MGCP gateway device to a route group/route list or assign a route pattern to the gateway, so calls can be routed to the gateway.

Note You only need to add the MGCP gateway to a route pattern for outbound calling.
